This morning I probably spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how to add an additional admin user to Magento. And although it turned out to be really easy, it took some digging to find the answer on the net. I finally found the answer on the forum board:
- In your magento admin backend, go to Admin> System> Permissions> Users.
- Click “Add new user”
- Enter the user’s information.
- Be sure to click on the “user roles” tab on the left menu to assign the account to a role. (You can create more limited-capability roles using ADMIN> System> Permissions> Roles so that users can’t reset anything too deadly if you want.)
- Save user.
Hopefully this post helps to save someone else wasting 15 minutes looking for the answer on the magento forums.
Thanks… that saved be 20 minutes.
Thank you!
Thanks for the tip ,saved me some time too … so what on earth does adding a regular ‘customer’ to the group ‘admin’ do anyway ?!? That’s where I was looking before ….

Thanks, Saved me a bit of time on my new magento site.
Oh Dude, that really saved my valuable time. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thanks this saved us a lot of time as the Magento forums are a nightmare to search and fastly find the correct information from.
I had spent 10 mins and finally saved 30 mins.
I hate magento.. too complicated for understanding…
How can I add more sellers on the ecommerce website for the same product like on amazon or ebay?
thank you!
saved me some time!
Thanks. This saved me alot of time with my ATEX webshop. Magento’s menu arrangement is sometimes very confusing for a new user.

Thanks! saved me a lot of time
I created a new user role and tried it out.
Everything works. However, I want to make it so authors can upload their own work. At this time they can, but they can also see and mess with the other books on the site.
How can I change it so they can only work with their books and not accidently delete another book?
when i click ‘Add new user’ , but it can not show user’s information .
Thanks! I spent my 15 minutes yesterday and gave up.
Thanks. Very helpful
I created a user and tried to it out,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:-(
